We are in receipt of Copps Settlers Guide, the publication of which is timely in vjewlf the recent action of the land deSs sneut ay Washington restoring to settlement millions of acres Of railroad indemnity lands much of which is in the Southwest.
 Copp's Settlers Guide IS published by Henry N. Copp, Washington, D. C., and IS sold for 25 cents. It tells all about the homestead, pre-emptlon timber culture, and other land laws how to declpher surveyed township section and quarter-section corners how long residence must be continued what settlement and improvements must be shown; how and on what grounds contests against abandoned and illegal entries can be commenced location of government land offices and names of land officers, and 1t will doubtless save many settlers from the loss of their land and improvements as designing people often mislead un- informed settlers as to the require ments of the settlement laws.

Transactions in mining stocks in St. Lotus have fallen of materially of late. As a broker puts 1t everybody is loaded up and is waiting for dlvi- dends to materialize. A great many investors have reached the conclusion that most of the mining properties have been placed here on mlsrepre- sentatlons, and that after the stock has been run up to fancy price, so as to allow the original owners to sell out at a profit, the stockholders are left to hold the bag. They prefer to see what will come out of tine old bags before putting their hands on new bags. The latest example of this Is Grey Eagle, which like Nay Aug, its prede- cessor in the collapsing act, IS one of the weakest stocks on the list, after having started out with brilliant pros poets. Jim Whitlach placed it here on exaggerated reports, sold out a great deal of his stock at S1 and Sl.25, and has a mortgage of $500OO on the mine, due in a year. The property IS in debt and Jim is liable to get his mine back. No means for relieving the mine from debt have been de- vlSed !"

present policy and purpose of the gov ernment to break up large Indian res eFvations, which tend to perpetuate and encourage superstition, ignorance and fraud, and to that end, Congress, after years of careful consideration, has prepared law winch guarantees to every Indian the right to locate land in severalty, and to encourage them so to do. It is therefore fact, that every Indian now living On the San Carlos reservation could declare hlS purpose to relinquish tribal rela- tlons and take advantage of that law of Congress. He could take his tami- ly and walk or ride off tbat reserva- tion. He could go to the Tonto Basin or Verde valley, or anywhere else on public lands, He could pitch his tent, build his little house, hle his declara- ton papers, and all the powers of the government would be pledged to sus- tain and protect him" For such IS the law of the land, and by respecting and obeying it, our peo- pie prove that they are law abiding citizens. At the same time the Indian would be amenable to the civil law, the sape ss any other man. But 1 have flo de1Sta9at r wouIs be more beneficial to the Indians, and Jess en- barrassing to the government, to aid and encourage them in their efforts to peacefully locate on their native lands or as practical in the c0un- try available; than to risk the possi- billty of an outbreak on the reserva- tion, or to arbitrarily confne them in in place where they must die in slow degrees.
 "As far as I am concerned, I have but one obiect-the good of all in- terested, and the desire to maintain peace in the Department. In my rec 'ommendation have suggested what I believed to be wise, humane and practical in the solution of a difficult problem. If any better or more sat- isfactory plan can be suggested it would receive my cheerful and hearty support"

The election of Judge John Patter- son Req, a Republican, of Minnesota, as Commanders in Chief of the Grand Army of the Republic, it is claimed
 was effected by combination of mem bers of that party, and is roundly rated by Democrats of the organiza- tion. General Stoneman, ex-Governor of California, regards the defeat ot General Slocum as extraordinary, and effected upon purely political grounds, and while that is the case, he gives ii as his opinion that it is time for the people to reflect. He said, II joined it with the understanding that Ii would have nothing to do with poli- ties. was quite sure that the officers would be chosen because of thelr mil itary services, but whe% 1 see an off cer of General Slocum's record and reputation defeated because he Is a Democrat and an unknown man chosen Tn his stead, think It IS about time for the Democrats of the order to put on their thinking caps" General Stoneman said further that General Gosvenor's speech in the encampment, in which he said that the Grand Army of the Republic was greater than the President and greater than Congress, was rank heresy. Nc man in his sane senses should give utterance to such an assertion. The idea that any society in the country, whether com posed of military men or civilians, is greater than the Government, IS rank treason. Yes, sir, nothing short of treason. My understanding of the Grand army of the Republic is that it is fraternal society of cid soldiers, with charity for its object I think that when that society assumes to be greater than Congress or the Presi- dent, or interests itself in political
 movements or in the obstruction or passage of legislation, it is guilty of usurpation. The Grand Army of the
 Republic has nothing to do with rec
 ommendlng legislation to Congress and has nothing to do with the Pres
 ident's approval or disapproval of legislation submitted to him by Con-
 gress. think that when the Grand
 Army of the Republic, as such, inter- feres with the business of the people, it is time for the people to call halt. '

Secretary Lamar has overruled Com missioner Sparks decision relative to the right of married woman to make desert land entries. Commissioner Sparks denied the righton the ground that the provision of law which for bade man to make more than one desert entry would be nullifed by al- lowing his wife to make one too. Secretary Lamar has taken different view of the matter, and the making of desert land entries by married women, that has been for some time suspend ed, may now be resumed.-Tucson Citizen.

In the cases of James Reilly vs. Benoni Blaekmore, James Reilly vs. George G. Berry, and the Mountain Maid Mining Company vs. James Reil- ly, appealed from the Cochise county court to the Supreme Court of Arizo- na, Judges Wright and Barnes have rendered decision affirming the de- cisien of the lower court and uphold ing the title of the Tombstone town site patent, asl against the Mountain Maid title elalmed under U. $. mining patent, on the grounds of priority. The court holds that the location ne- tice Of the Mountain Maid, filed Feb ruary 25, 1879, is so uncertain that the land claimed can not be identified, and, further, it is aided by ne evidence whatever. November 20, 1880, the record was amended, and on August 15, 1882, patent was issued to the land described in the amendment. This amendment was after the entry of the tewnsite. The date of entry of the townsite is April g, 1880. The mining title can not be superior to the townsite title unless the location earlier than the townslte be held to fix the title. The first mining loca- tion, the court holds, did not meet all the requirements of law in regard to mining locations and IS therefore in valid.
 These cases are important, as the title to considerable improved proper ty in the town of Tombstone is ln- volTed, and much bad feeling was engendered during their pendency, awaiting the decision of the Supreme Court. Neither is it certain that this last decision settles the matter finally, as the Epitaph states that an appeal will be taken to the Supreme Court of the United States.

n Many people seem to believe that the word boom IS synonymous with boundless exaggerahon and cannot exist without it; that great prosperity cannot be secured to any section or community without exceeding the truth as to Its resources and advanta. ges. Such policy, doubtless, may at. tract attention and for time be sue. cessful in securing seeming thrift, but unless the country has inherent merit the prosperity will be only transitory and when it departs, as It surely will, leaving behind neglected monuments marking the graves of enterprises fraught with hopes unreahzed, the unwarranted pretensions of the local- lty will not only become apparent, but the prejudice engendered in per sons who have been deluded and have in consequence suffered in pocket, will cause a revuIson of public sentiment --.-z.ss-1-R Ri1sR f5rssS- lSEefTnCS=',- --Tiss<enJ the real merit of which the country may be possessed from being recog- nized.
 The BELT has never pursued this policy as the exponent of Gila county abroad. It has endeavored to be con Aservative in all that it said, believing that if it kept within the bounds of truth, 1t would be doing a greater ser vice to the county than by drawing the long bow. We can say without exsggeration that we have a climate unsurpassed for salubrity, copper and silver mines of known value, splen- did grazing country and considerable areas of rich agricultural lands. There is only one thing that has re- tarded our growth, and that is our isolation from railroads, making it im- possible, with our present facilities, to work ores other than of exceptional richness. Within year we believe marked revival in mining will be wit messed Tn this district, and upon the completion of the Mineral Belt rail road, that industry will be established upon a permanent and lucrative ba- sis, and Globe will be second to no mining town in the Southwest.

At a recent meeting of a society styling themselves "Friends of the h. dlans," Bishop Huntington made a discouraging report as to the barbar- ous condition and slow progress of the Indians on eight reservations in the State of New York. The conclusion reached by him is that the civilization of the Indians under the present gov ernment policy of massing them on reservations IS impossible, and he ad- vocates the abolition of the reSerVa- ton system.
